Let the celebrations begin!

At least now i wont be able to forget which 6 people i need to “return the favor” to.

This was not of my doing. I took one for the team there. I will return the favor one day to all you fuckers. Might not be this year, might be 2 years from now, but you guys should be on the look out for a banana in the tailpipe. Great day hanging out with all of you weirdos.

The Skiing: I skied today two session mid morning and early afternoon. The snow mid morning was ok..was firm and fast a few slow spots where they blew snow early morning. Razors, challenge and switchback were all pretty good as well as nightmare to dreamweaver. Crowds were non existent. Second session there was a lot more sunshine the snow was softened a bit but not like yesterday’s hero snow. The Food: The food today was on point. Bacon, sausage, donuts, eggs and blueberry pancakes to start. A pancake was even made with some of salrys fruit by the foot which is progressive. We had summer sausage and cheese and all kinds of snacks then sausage and peppers and onions, a beef bacon meat weave, chicken, cheesy crab flat bread, pulled pork, brisket..creme brûlée. On and on and on. Was great..had a few mimosas and some beer as well. Who was in the house???? At least 25 people I don’t have time to list out everybody but was a fun PASR day!!

What a day! “This is what it’s all about” sums it up perfectly. Beautiful day, fun times, fun people, great food! As expected, got home and immediately fell into food coma!

I don't know too many places where you can stop people from entering the parking lane...open a champagne bottle with a machete .... Mountain employee gives you extra garbage bags...and food that's on another level .....all PA in a ski resort...... It reminded me of the eighties...Bravo..

Good times...Cool meeting a bunch of you guys this morning....

It’s here.

Ordered this backpack. Decided to get a snow specific pack that fits all the avy gear properly. Have a shovel and beacon on order and found a used probe at a local shop. Can’t wait till all my stuff is in and I go out again! Also picked up this book. Lots of good spots in the park when I get more comfortable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That shit is gold jerry.....gold

Got a late start on the day and was on snow by 11:30-ish. Lots of sun, soft snow, and no crowds: just the way I like it. White lighting was buttery soft and was the run of the day. Recharged with some chili and Guinness, of course. Gonna go back out for a few more slides down WL. Pretty solid day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In the words of Flossy Carter...on a scale of 1 to 10, today was a major, major, major go (triple major being the highest one can attain). The food was amazing. the skiing was nice, the company was top notch. Not really sure what else to say but today was a very good day.

I took mental roll call. Saltyant, Steeze, Atomic, Mute, Root, Toast, Jlaw, Enjoralas, Enjoralas's dad, RidgeRacer, Schif, TP4, Indiggio, Antman, Antman's Cousin, JFDan, Mbike-Mike, Mrs. Snowbunski, 2 of her friends, Tarponhead, Dude4Bides, Nastar Glenn, and many others.

Salty Anus.

Is that a joke? Or in Salty’s world are 88’s wide.

Liftie Bob looking for a hug?

Had a good time up there yesterday with my daughters. We skied from 8 to 2 and pretty much stuck to lazy mile and sidewinder the entire time with a few runs down paradise. I kept peeking at challenger and Main Street but they weren’t up for it. I seem to really struggle with the heavy wet slop. Was clowning around with my daughters at one point heading down Tutts and caught one ski in it and it spun me completely around. Kids thought I did it on purpose... still not sure how I was able to recover lol. Hoping to squeeze in another trip or two.

Correct.

Did Salty try out some wide skis? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fruit by the foot pancakes were also surprisingly good.

Nice report.

Just got back. I was at Blue for 9 hours today..and ate breakfast lunch and dinner and came home with more champagne than I brought. Was a really fun day. Report in a little bit and a few pictures.

170.

Anyone bringing honey?!

There were conspiracy theories going around the Blue lot today that Phillycore is actually gritty.

Telling the lady what to write was a hoot. Figured Salty could have dibs on the piece with the 170 icing.

since I'm getting there late in picked up dessert...and beverages of course

He's a purple anthropomorphic T Rex from the Land make believe. Before becoming a singer / actor he was a bad ass bump skier in the mold of Johnny Moseley. After losing a few competitions he decided to leverage his other talents (singing, arm swaying and acting) into a potentially more lucrative career. He obtained an agent, hit the big time and the rest is history. In an effort to honor his skiing prowess, Blue decided to name a trail in his honor. Believe it or not he still skis recreationaly at his home mountain in the Land of Make Believe but given time constraints (as you could imagine) his skiing is limited. Post skiing pick of Barney below.

Looks legit! Well done.

Best day of the season

Today was what it's all about, the food was God Damn ridiculous, enjorales dude that was a straight up feast. Lift shenanigans was funny as shit, huge props to Dan for the ultimate walk of shame. Shit was perfect.

Nice report. I hope to hit montage one more time this year. The food at Slocum hollow is pretty good and they usually have a decent selection of beer

OMG

Looks like JFDan had some lift chaos.

Looks nice out. 🌞⛷🏂. Just walked outside, nice temperature, and not a cloud in the sky.

Only if I get banned.

Fixed it for you

Best thing I’ve seen all day

I'll take yer cash, lol

The area we went to in the park was formerly a ski area, closed in the early 90’s. Found an old trail map. We were in the area I circled but have no idea which ‘Trail’ we took down. Will have to pay more attention next time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

went to hunter to get my peak pass/check out the new trail pod for the first time. Left southern NJ at around 530 and made it for like 7th chair or something. temps were in the forties when i got there, and everthing on the main face was nice and soft. All the trails on north were not, and I assume its becasue they are in the dark most of the day. Hunter west never opened and hasnt been open for a while. I took the main 6er up, and headed down belt parkway to make my way to the new terrain, which as you guys know has had an eventful first year. Hunter wanted this terrain to expand their intermediate terrain, and it fails to do so. The new trails though are my favorite on the mountain, and it makes hunter feel like a totally different resort. The trails were all open but sleep hollow, which is strangely the only “blue” and not “blue diamond”. first one i hit was the overlook trail. It starts mellow, then is immeditally followed by a pretty steep pitch as seen here. I knew that the north and west side of hunter stay dark most of the day so luckily i remembered to change my lenses. If not i would have gotten pretty hurt. The snow wasnt too edgable, and under each snow gun was a barely visible roller, that if you hit at any speed over 20 will send you airborn. The fall line will send you right off the side of the trail if you get into an uncontrollable slide, which is why im assuming these trails are shit shows for your average “intermediate” skier from the city. After the headwall theres a long runout with really tall edge to edge whales of snow that are super fun. The new lift is stupid fast and steep. After riding it i thought there was no way it was 1k vert, but checked my tracking app and it sure is. The twiglight trail crosses under the lift towards the top. The grooming on this thing was pisspoor with pretty deep trenches. Once you enter the part of the trail thats still in the shade, you cant see them, and this trail also had the large unexpected bumps under the snowguns. there really isnt any room at the top of the lift. you get off and theres a cliff right in front of you. the options you have are to go left and imediately start downhill or go slightly uphill to the right and try and strap in on an area maybe 8 feet wide before heading down wayout. I cant imagine this shit show on weekends. The next trail was rips return. Fun trail. bad grooming. Same as the other trails. Weird almost invisible bumps waiting to throw you into the woods, and without lenses made for flat light, good luck seeing them before 2pm. Didnt take a photo of this but whatever. Now onto the good. It may sound like im blasting this expansion, but I am in love with it. The parking area is 2 miles down the road from the main area. you can tell theres a lot of work to do as the only sign telling you where to go is small and in front of an abanoned farm, leading to a winding dirt road through the forest. I love it. Theres food trucks and a small ticket shack, as well as a bridge from the lot to the lift.Its surrounded by pine trees and smells like pine trees. Its the anti hunter as a self contained 1k vert ski area. The trails feel classic and way less “manufactured” than the main face. But lableing these as any kind of intermediate trail will only result in more deaths. heres a shot of some of the new trails from rt 23 Ill be back a few times this year and quite a bit next year just to lap the new area. Hopefully it snows next year becasue the new glades look stellar. But hunter needs to bribe someone in NY govt because if its real deal intermediate terrain they want, and given the reality of the usual conditions, they can really only expand upwards from hunter one. And for the third or fourth time...The expansion is fantastic for most of us on here, they just missed their own mark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When my kids were school age, they were dragging me out of bed to ski. My kids and the kid next door would shovel our driveway when it snowed before the sun came up so I could get them on the hill.

Complaining about east coast ski conditions is about as productive as an old man yelling at a cloud.

Eaf, Salty and Ski2Live have a fun Valentine's Day!!! Here's my valentine.
